The most common issue in the game is the server issue, players reported that they are unable to connect to the game server or they get disconnected from it.

Another issue of the game is crashing, from time to time the game simply crashes for some players but luckily they don’t lose any progress.

Pokemon Go Issues:

#1 Pokemon Go Server Issues

First, check if the Pokemon Go Servers are online, you can do that here: http://cmmcd.com/PokemonGo/. If the servers are online you need to return in a little bit because at the moment you can do anything to fix this issue, if the servers are online and you are unable to connect to the game check our solutions below.

Perhaps as a result of its tremendous popularity, Pokemon Go players have been encountering serious server issues. After staying mostly silent since its launch in the United States this week, its developer has now spoken out about the problems.

“Thank you for your patience.”, a tweet from the official Pokemon Go account states. “We have been working to fix the server issues.”

When logging in, you might be told you have ‘Failed to get game data from the server’ or ‘Failed to log in’. This likely means that the server isn’t down completely, just press the Retry button or close and open the game again. If this doesn’t help you make sure that your mobile data is active and that your internet is functioning properly.

If you are experiencing ‘Internet connection not found’ error this means that the problem is on your side and that your internet connection is not working. Try to restart your mobile data or reboot your phone.

#2 Pokemon Go GPS Signal Not Found

The game uses internet connectivity and GPS technology to pin down where you are in the real world. From time to time, you might get this error: “GPS Signal Not Found”. This means that you lost your GPS signal because you are in closed area or something like these, like a basement, or it can be an issue from the game that you can fix with the workarounds below.

Moving your location is a good idea to see if that resolves the issue. Servers might also have some impact in these cases too, and waiting a moment usually helps clear these issues up. Also, look in Settings to enable GPS tracking. in Android 5.0, the feature is controlled by a switch within the Privacy and Settings area inside the Settings app.

#3 Pokemon Go Crashes

A common issue is that the game will freeze or crash when throwing a Pokeball at a creature. In the period when the creature entering the ball for the first time, the ball shaking and before the ‘Gotcha’ message appears, the app can stop responding, even enough the loading icon will rotate in the corner and some on-screen graphics will continue to move.

Wait a few seconds to see if the game responds or if it froze. If you don’t see the ‘Gotcha!’ on the screen you need to restart the game.

However, not all is lost. If you quit the game and reload it (make sure it’s properly closed, and not just minimised) then check your journal (tap the Trainer icon in the lower level corner, then the Journal button underneath the XP bar) you’ll see a list of recent activities, from PokéStop interactions to Pokémon captured. Here you’ll be able to see whether the creature you just captured is indeed yours or not; in our experience, there’s about a 50/50 chance it picks up on the capture after a crash, so it’s worth a check to see if it made it through!

#4 Pokemon Go drains the battery

A lot of players complained that their smartphones quickly run out of battery power faster than they should when playing Pokémon Go. Some battery drain is expected because the game is using GPS and Mobile Data but it seems that a bug is draining the battery faster. Niantic says that it’s working on a solution.

#5 Pokemon Go how to turn on Wi-FI in game

When you are in the game and you want to turn on the Wi-Fi or change from mobile data to Wi-Fi, follow the steps below.

While in Pokémon Go, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to enter Command Center.

Tap on Wi-Fi symbol. Make sure it highlighted.

Swipe down again to get back to the game.

#5 Pokemon Go No Pokemon Near You

If you managed to install the game, you should see creatures, PokeStops and gyms all near you. But some players are reporting that nothing appears near them in the game. Users that have installed the game in a region where it’s not yet supported also report getting this issue. In that case, the best thing to do is to wait to play the game until it’s ready for launch in your territory.

#6 Pokemon Go PokeCoins and premium items do not appear in my account

Please try the following steps if you’re having trouble seeing PokeCoins or premium items in your account:

Sign out and sign back into Pokemon Go. Open Pokemon Go, touch Main Menu > Settings and then select “Sign out.”

If that does not resolve the issue, try powering off your device and restarting.

#7 Receive “You already own this item” error message (Android only)

If your device loses internet connectivity while purchasing PokeCoins from the shop, you may receive the “You already own this item” error message. Please power off and restart your device to resolve this issue.

#8 My location is incorrect, unavailable, or jitters/drifts

Niantic is constantly working to improve GPS accuracy and stability. In general, GPS accuracy largely depends on the device you’re using and your signal/connection strength. To improve your device’s location, please review the following settings:
